Patti Smith.

Five from Patti Smith

*People have the power to redeem the work of fools.

*An artist may have burdens the ordinary citizen doesn’t know,
but the ordinary citizen has burdens that many artists never even touch.

*Those who have suffered understand suffering and therefore extend their hand.

*Never let go of that fiery sadness called desire.

*In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. 
  In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.
